everytime i pull in to my apartment people are up my ass. i find my self turning in there at around 30mph and to add to this the drive is sloped funny so if i apply the brake the abs kick in and i feel like the tires are going to skip and i'm going to rub the curb. now with that said, i'v been hitting the brakes then coasting in gear when i pull in and i can feel the VSA applying my brakes. now this happens all over the place, a road that has a small slope when turning kicks the brakes in. if this keeps up i'll be replaceing bake pads every 8k.. now in case you'r wondering the VSA light does not flash but i feel it. i'v tryed driveing with it off just around town and it almost feels like the i-vtec does not work as well and i hate the yellow light. Yes we have i-vtec's, under light acceleration it will give you more torq for putting around.

Who cares if they are up your ass? Slow down and enter the lot like a normal human. They don't drive/care about your car, you do.

As for the VSA comment, I don't know what to say. I have never turned mine off, and don't plan on it. If it is hampering something in the system by being on, I would really be amazed with the car if it was off. I haven't felt like I've been in a situation where the VSA has taken something from my driving experience.

Just like that Cadillac commercial says. "When you turn on your car, does it turn you on?" My answer is, YES! (Regardless of whether or not VSA is on.)

I have an 06, I've never had VSA. I'm glad I don't, too.

Whaaa? I guess I am gonna have to ask. Why are they up your ass? Because you are driving too fast? Too slow? They can see the VSA flashing and it is keeping them up at night???

don't really understand why u are glad u don't i think its a nice feature and ive never had a problem with it

also i dont see why this would have any influence on what the vtec does

 

[trystar]

you are one weird ass child

vsa saved my life many times

vsa saved my life many times

if this is the case, then sir please turn in ur license

 

[rcracin13]

i think you're talking about abs or brake assist. not vsa

 

[tommyroo]

if this is the case, then sir please turn in ur license

haha

VSA saved my life once during a heavy thunderstorm and I made a lane change that was a little too ill-thought-out. That was enough for me to appreciate its presence. The driver in my blind spot didn't have his lights on and visibility was damn near zero feet in front of me with the culmination of mist, tire spray, and heavy downpour, so even though I did turn my head I couldn't see his car. As I made the lane change to the right lane, he honked and I panicked and skidded a little back to my lane when VSA kicked in. Good stuff.

VSA working when you're in VTEC will essentially only happen if it detects wheels slipping.

 

[Firestrife]

Your talking about ABS dude. Just drive in properly. there is nothing you can do that will save your brakes if you mash on it.

id agree with that

 

[schield]

Like others have said, its not the VSA, it is the ABS. You shouldn't be worried about wearing out your brakes if the ABS comes on! You must be mashing the brakes for that to happen on a dry surface. If you want to save your brakes, slow down in gear and slowly apply the brakes. That way you save your brakes and ABS won't kick in.

 

[Agnt004]

It is most definitely your ABS kicking in since you are braking and the Triangle light (VSA light) doesn't go on. The ABS kicks in easy on our cars. Try turning without braking an give it some gas (do it at about 25 mph since it is sloped) and you will feel the difference between VSA and what you are feeling. If the light doesn't blink, it is not engaging.

Okay so maybe I might be the only one to agree with the guy *somewhat*, VSA should always be on #1 unless you are drift king in Japan, You should let the car do its thing..... I do however turn the VSA when I feel like having fun in a straight line (i.e. drag w/friends etc..) This allows the wheels to spin like crazy through 1st and some of second... if you choose, or for my sake it has helped my 1/8 and 1/4 mile time a fraction of a second. (Negotiable whether or not its the VSA contributing or just better shot off the line) either way I can notice a difference with VSA off when getting on it as opposed to it on. then again the price of rubber is expensive hence why I drive with VSA most of the time. my couple of pennies

 

[jdecker]

I turn it off when its dry outside and just leave it on when its raining and when im on the the interstate.

 

[Drew303]

VSA is a good thing. People who say they don't like it don't understand how it works.
